| | HOW TO GET TO ITB BERLIN DURING THE RAIL STRIKE | From Berlin Brandenburg Airport BER or different train stations to the exhibition grounds and back: Whether by public transport, transport service providers, car or shared mobility providers, we have summarized all the options for you.
Please note that there may be travel restrictions due to the announced GDL strike. As a result, there can be more traffic on the roads. We therefore recommend planning your arrival well in advance and using alternative means of transport such as the underground or taxis to minimise delays as far as possible. Rail travelers should expect delays and train cancellations.
This includes S-Bahn as well. Tips and information on how to make alternative arrangements for your journey can be found here:
